When conversations turn to India’s most recognisable sporting families, the Mirzas tend to dominate the room. For nearly twenty years, the global spotlight followed packed tennis arenas from Melbourne
to New York, where Sania Mirza changed the way women’s tennis was perceived in India. Grand Slam titles, fearless baseline play and an unmistakable presence on court made her a trailblazer in every sense. Away from Centre Court, however, another Mirza was charting a very different path. Quietly, Anam Mirza has managed to establish a reputation not through trophies or rankings, but through businesses, balance sheets and brand-building. If Sania’s estimated net worth of around Rs 216 crore shows a career forged through sport and endorsements, Anam’s estimated Rs 331-crore valuation tells a story rooted in entrepreneurship, cultural insight and timing.
Anam Mirza's Early Life
Born on February 25, 1994, in Hyderabad, Anam Mirza was raised in a household where ambitions were a priority. Imran Mirza, Anam's father, worked as a sports journalist, and her mother, Naseema, ran a printing business. Conversations around deadlines, discipline and responsibility were part of everyday life. She studied at Nasr School before earning a degree in Mass Communication and Media Studies from St Francis College for Women. While Sania Mirza was already on a professional sporting trajectory, Anam found herself drawn to media, branding and consumer psychology. Those who worked with her early on often noticed her ability to read audiences—what caught attention, what converted interest into loyalty, and what quietly faded away.
Anam Mirza And Her Business
Anam’s first venture came in 2013 with Ink to Change, a Hyderabad-based content platform aimed at young journalists. At a time when regional digital media was still finding its feet, the platform functioned as both a publishing space and a training ground. While it never scaled into a mainstream outlet, it gave Anam a front-row view of how digital ecosystems worked—from content production to audience engagement and monetisation. More importantly, it revealed a pattern that would define her later career: she was interested in building communities around ideas, not chasing short-lived trends.
Anam Mirza: The Label Bazaar and a decisive fashion pivot
Fashion soon emerged as Anam Mirza’s strongest calling card. Stepping away from media, she launched The Label Bazaar, a multi-designer platform designed around accessibility and discovery rather than exclusivity. Instead of positioning itself as a luxury boutique, the brand brought together clothing, accessories, footwear, bags and beauty labels under one curated roof. In no time, The Label Bazaar became one of India’s most prominent fashion exhibition brands, hosting showcases across Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and even Dubai. These events became social fixtures, drawing serious shoppers, influencers and also designers. Industry insiders often credit Anam’s commercial instinct—spotting trends early and packaging them for scale—for the brand’s rapid rise.
Daawat-e-Ramzan and the business of cultural experience
In 2022, Anam decided to expand her portfolio beyond fashion and she co-founded Daawat-e-Ramzan, now known as India’s largest Ramzan expo. Held annually in Hyderabad, the event attracts close to 1.5 lakh visitors, featuring over 200 retail stalls and more than 30 food vendors. What sets the expo apart is its emotional intelligence. Rather than treating Ramzan purely as a commercial opportunity, Daawat-e-Ramzan is designed as a cultural experience—celebrating food, fashion and community during the holy month. Anam has spoken about wanting to recreate the warmth and flavours of Hyderabad’s Old City in a contemporary exhibition format. Each edition grows in scale, securing the event’s place on the city’s cultural calendar.
A label inspired by motherhood
In 2019, Anam Mirza tied the knot with Asad Azharuddin, the son of former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin, in a wedding ceremony held in Hyderabad. Motherhood did little to slow her momentum. After the birth of her daughter Dua in 2023, Anam started another fashion label that carried a softer, more personal aesthetic.
Luxury living and refined tastes
According to GQ, Anam Mirza owns a sprawling Hyderabad residence valued at roughly Rs 13 crore. Designed in earthy tones, the house reflects understated elegance rather than overt opulence.
The Mirzas also maintain strong ties with the UAE. Sania Mirza used to live in Dubai with former husband Shoaib Malik. She owns a house there, styled around a white, Greek-inspired aesthetic that blends modern minimalism with Mediterranean calm.
Cars, collectibles and a taste for the finer things
Anam’s appreciation for luxury extends to her garage. According to GQ, her collection includes a Rs 1.70 Crore BMW 7 Series, a Range Rover Evoque that costs Rs 72 lakh, and a Jaguar XE costing close to Rs 46 lakh. That's not all, she also owns Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and Audi.
Influence, reach and a Rs 331-crore valuation
Beyond physical businesses, Anam Mirza has built a strong digital footprint. With over 1.25 lakh subscribers on YouTube and a substantial following across social platforms, she occupies the space between entrepreneur and influencer. Brand collaborations, event intellectual properties and digital monetisation together contribute to her reported Rs 331-crore net worth, placing her among the most successful self-made women entrepreneurs in her space.
Personal life, resilience and new beginnings
Anam’s personal journey has not been without upheaval. She married Akbar Rasheed in 2016, but the marriage ended in divorce two years later. Rather than retreating, she embraced a fresh chapter with Asad Azharuddin, son of former Indian cricket captain Mohammad Azharuddin. The couple later welcomed their daughter, Dua, in August 2022.
